Thanks for the info. How are you determining the percentage of final?
I'm starting to think mirrorservice.org has a problem of some kind; for
the past day or so I saw no attempts to connect which is strange if the
mirroring is stalled as you say. There is now an active upload in
progress, so we'll see what happens in the next day or two.
At least the system now degrades gracefully instead of causing the
showstopper failures Darrell was alluding to that were unfortunately
characteristic of previous releases.
For the next SRU I'm going to see if I can set up a more stable layer in
between the TDE servers and mirrorservice.org.

As far as I know this has been resolved with the
new mirroring system.
Kuiper seems to have stopped updating many days ago. Copernicus
then updated for a while but hasn't as far as I can see updated
in at least three days. It seems to have roughly 26% of R14 final
but it doesn't seem to be used by the redirector.
(I have not seen nightly builds being mirrored so I don't know
why mirrorservice.org is no longer updating.)
Consequently significant portions of each install are served
from the master server at lower speeds over the congested uplink.
I've seen downloads from the master server at reasonable speeds
but I've too often seen them crawling at 8KBps.
In short the new system seems to be reliable but slow for regular
installs and upgrades. When R14 Final attracts more downloaders
I would expect further declines in download speeds. Meanwhile
for those of us who need to create local partial mirrors the new
mirroring system is unusable until a complete and consistent
mirror forms.
